Skills Minus S Equals Kills

     The thing about technology is that it does not care about people. It will leave you in it's wake, leaving you to scurry about trying to catch up. It can cost you your job. You could be replaced by a machine or robot, or you may say the wrong thing via our technologically advanced social media structure.

     For some people the technology is too much for them to grasp on to. I've seen older nurses at the onset of electronic medical records that have become displaced due to the inability to master a complex computer program. Younger people that grew up with computers in classrooms have no trouble, but people like myself had to learn it all our own. As a result, great healthcare individuals get replaced by lesser qualified people with better computer skills.

     You may counter that this helps the patient, but I can assure you people with small veins and heart conditions do not give a shit about your computer skills.
